Character Analysis: Hi Peeps

In John Shanely’s Doubt there are two sides the reader can take at the end of the play. The side of Sister Aloysius, claiming the Father Flynn was guilty, or the side of Father Flynn, claiming that he is innocent. For the majority of the play I leaned more towards the side of Father Flynn, however evidence that is brought up at the end of the play caused me to doubt Father Flynn’s innocence.

I was pleased to have attended a lecture cosponsored by the Ethics Center, the Fresno State office of the president, the Fresno Bee and Valley PBS. The lecture began with Dr. Castro recognizing a few leaders on campus, including a past Fresno State president, Dr. John D. Welty and campus volunteer Mary Castro. Dr. Castro then mentioned a few things about Mr. Brooks stating that he is a columnist for the New York Times and an analyst for the PBS “News Hour” and NPR’s “All Things Considered.” Dr. Brooks also teaches at Yale University, one the finest university in the country. Dr. Castro continued by saying that he learned that Mr. Brooks office hours are from 9am to 1pm and how “cool” it sounded to him. I was surprised how many people attended the event. I was fortunate to find a seat. David Brooks mentioned how he has some remote roots in the Central Valley because his father grew in Chowchilla, CA but Mr. Brooks grew in New York.

In the bildungsroman, A Long Way Gone, Ishmael recalls a childhood parable Pa Sesay told when listening to a mother tell her kid a story in Conakry’s Sierra Leonean embassy. The tale tells about a hunter about to shoot a monkey but the ape articulates that if he shoots, his father will die, and if he does not shoot, his father will die. Ishmael reflects upon the parable’s unanswerable question and finally reaches a solution at age seven. Clearly, Ishmael possesses the critical thinking skills to develop a proper solution to this dilemma that truly reflects his morals. The vanquishing of the monkey compares to the solution to Sierra Leone’s internal issues such as ending war and child soldiers, illustrating a metaphor.

Subject 12-M sounds much more like a science fiction character than a refugee fleeing Communist Hungary, but do not let that fool you into thinking his recollection of Hungary is fantasy. This individual has displayed a great disdain towards Communism, especially between the years of 1944 and 1945. Just a juvenile during these years, Subject 12-M found himself within the Soviet Union’s sprawling territory following the conclusion of World War II. With the annexation of Hungary into the Soviet Union came the arrival of the Russian soldiers into the country. On their way through Hungary, establishing Leninist Communism, the soldiers spared no sympathy in raping, looting, and plundering just about everything they could get their hands on.

Identity has become a big factor throughout the history of the United States. The novel “Ask The Dust” and the textbook “Give Me Liberty” has a big focus on how individuals have different values and opinions because of where they come from and character itself. According to the novel, “… I stood and smoked them all, and saw myself a great author with that natty Italian briar, and a cane, stepping out of a big black car, and she was there too.” Arturo the main character of the novel focus on his character throughout the book because he believes that being himself in a place where he went looking for opportunities to be successful can benefit his overall career as a writer.

Negative stereotypes surrounding obese individuals include that they are lazy, therefore their condition is their own fault. Mama’s character feeds into this stereotype by primarily being shown sitting or eating. Mama states, “I never meant to be like this, a joke,” and apologizes for her appearance after meeting Becky. These comments contribute to the stereotypes that obesity results from one’s own lack of control and that large bodies are unsightly; thus, they necessitate an apology for being seen by others. Mama’s weight gain began after her husband’s suicide, suggesting that eating served as a coping mechanism following a traumatic event. Therefore, the film could have focused on the underlying issues that triggered her eating disorder to negate the stereotypes about obesity.
